SC on freebies: Senior advocate Vikas Singh, representing the petitioner, submitted that a retired judge of the apex court, like Justice R.M. Lodha, should be the chairman of the committee to examine freebies issues.
RLD chief Jayant Chaudhary in a tweet took a dig at CJI NV Ramana and asked, "What freebies does the CJI get?". The remarks came after the Supreme Court said electoral freebies was a serious issue but it cannot ban political parties for it.
